Macklemore gives warm fuzzies in TV special

Through drug and alcohol addiction and his meteoric rise to fame, two women have been there for Macklemore with unrelenting support: His fiancee, Tricia Davis, and her mother, Diana Davis.

Macklemore is honoring the women — especially Diana — on national television next week with “Macklemore’s Big Surprise,” a one-hour special set for 10 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7 on the E! channel. If you’re into Macklemore and HGTV, you might want to set your DVR.

In it, Macklemore revamps Diana’s home, “Extreme Makeover” style, to thank her for everything she’s done for him during the past seven or eight years.

Though a tribute to Diana, the hour is narrated by Macklemore himself, who begins by telling the story of his own life and struggles with substance abuse.

“I wasn’t proud of the person I was,” he tells Tricia during a “candid” scene. “I didn’t love myself. I didn’t like myself.”

“Drugs were my first priority,” he added.

The show follows Macklemore and Tricia from Seattle to South Florida, where Diana now lives and the couple pull off a secret renovation of her home while they whisk her away to a Fort Lauderdale vacation.

The reno is supposed to happen in 72 hours.

“I think it’s impossible,” said the designer of the project, indicating the typical sense of hyberbolic challenge that comes with home makeover shows.

Diana’s home isn’t as atrocious as many we see on HGTV programs, but it’s spare, with hodgepodge furnishings and bare white walls (not those “White Walls”).

There are also the requisite wrenches thrown into the works, such as bad weather and supply issues, perhaps meant to lend suspense to the process. Will the project get done in time?!

Laughs and warm fuzzies abound. Watching this might make you feel some feelings.
